I love milk. We’ll let me re-phrase that, I’m actually not such a fan of the taste of plain milk, but I drink it because I know how good it is for me. Recently I discovered Almond Milk! Let me just say this- Milk is still fantastic! -I keep it in my diet daily; it’s [...]

My husband likes to call Avocados nature’s cheese!  We put avocado on sandwiches, in cottage cheese with tomato slices, on salads- in fact we look for any excuse to add a little bit of the green stuff to whatever where eating! In moderation of course! Although avocados are good for us, they are high in fat (the [...]

I just love finding products like this. They make dinner a breeze. And dinner stays as healthy as it would have if you actually cooked it yourself. This is what My husband and I ate tonight! For $ 2.99 I bought Tilapia and Lime Chipotle Seasoning from Green Island. I picked it up in the freezer section [...]

I’ve had a few requests from my Canadian readers to address the fact that they don’t carry my favorite brand of Greek Yogurt in Canada. Fage.  So I’ve found a great alternative! I must admit, it’s not as creamy and thick as Fage, but calorie for calorie, ingredient for ingredient, protein for protein it’s on par 100%. The brand is called [...]

These little oranges are everywhere in the grocery stores now. Some are Clementines, some Mandarin Oranges and some Tangerines! But, whatever type you prefer,  they are all delicious! And, they are GREAT for curbing a sweet tooth! Fruit is natures candy after all.  With only 45 calories for a 3 ounce orange, theses little puppies make up almost half [...]

I love Caesar salad, but I hate the calories that go along with it! I make a delicious low fat, low calorie Caesar dressing (a recipe which I will share at some point) but sometimes you just want to be able to go to a store and buy a dressing, instead of having to make it. Well, [...]

I wanted to share a discovery with you! It’s this new (well, new for me because I just tried it) great, nutritious bread! You can find it at your local grocery store. I’ve seen it at Metro and Longo’s. The bread is made by Stonemill Bread Company. They make a variety of products, but my choice would be [...]

Sugar is a natural sweetener! Our body recognizes it and are able to take the nutrients and energy we need from it and then digest the rest.  I don’t know why we all started to run from sugar!  Well, I do. All of the sudden, the ice cream sandwiches went from 300 to 150 calories AND they became [...]

Our bodies need calcium – in my opinion, dairy is the best way to get it. From one glass of non fat milk you can get over 300 mg of calcium! That’s almost 1/3 of your daily requirements! (Which are 1000 mg a day incase you didn’t know.) I am not a doctor, but it is my [...]

I am a big fan of Sprouted Grain bread. What does this mean? Well basically, the grains are soaked before they are ground- keeping the vitamins, minerals and nutrients in the grain.  The brand I buy, and the one that is most readily available in supermarkets is Ezekiel 4:9. It: 1) Forms a complete protein comparable [...]
